Job Description

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing.

  • Experience working with relational databases and writing SQL queries.
  • Familiarity with Git or other version control systems.
  • Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and ask questions.
  • Curiosity about how systems work and a desire to learn continuously.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to risk engineering , fraud detection, or decision platforms (through coursework, internships, or prior roles).
  • Experience building high-quality mobile and web UIs to product and design specifications.
  • Experience with the React Native and React ecosystems , including Hooks, Components, Context, and Redux .
  • Experience with Spring Boot or backend service development.
  • Basic knowledge of cloud platforms , particularly AWS.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).

  • Experience or coursework involving data platforms (e.g., Snowflake).
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code concepts (e.g., CDK, Terraform).
